THE LA RAZA CRIME TIDAL WAVE - “These figures do not attempt to allege that foreign
nationals in the country illegally commit more
crimes than other groups,” the report states. “It
simply identifies thousands of crimes that should
not have occurred and thousands of victims that
should not have been victimized because the
perpetrator should not be here.”

There are billions of people in the world who want to get themselves into the United States and sign up for welfare benefits that are vastly richer than their average incomes at home, not to mention free medical care at emergency rooms, free schooling for their children, and all the rest of our generosity. Now that word has reached them of the open door, they are coming.

Large group of Africans (116 men, women, and children) caught wading across the Rio Grande

Our open door along the southern border for people claiming to seek asylum is such a magnet for the world's poor that a group of 116 people traveled all the way from Africa to Mexico to enter the United States. In video tweeted out by Customs and Border Patrol, the large group, identified as coming from Angola, Cameroon, and Congo (all desperately poor), can be seen wading across the water in the Rio Grande, some carrying children in their arms — an automatic entry into the United States under law that the House of Representatives refuses to change.

In 2005, a left-leaning blogger wrote, “Illegal immigration wreaks havoc economically, socially, and culturally; makes a mockery of the rule of law; and is disgraceful just on basic fairness grounds alone.”In 2006, a liberal columnist wrote that “immigration reduces the wages of domestic workers who compete with immigrants” and that “the fiscal burden of low-wage immigrants is also pretty clear.” His conclusion: “We’ll need to reduce the inflow of low-skill immigrants.” That same year, a Democratic senator wrote, “When I see Mexican flags waved at pro-immigration demonstrations, I sometimes feel a flush of patriotic resentment. When I’m forced to use a translator to communicate with the guy fixing my car, I feel a certain frustration.”

Presidential hopeful Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke proposed giving citizenship to large swaths of illegal aliens present in the United States Saturday at a MoveOn.org “Big Idea” event.

O’Rourke began by revisiting his failed 2018 Senate bid in Texas against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and thanking the MoveOn crowd for their support, saying they “fundamentally changed the nature of democracy” in Texas. He sold the idea that his campaign “unlocked” Texas’ 38 electoral college votes ahead of 2020. A documentary on O’Rourke’s 2018 campaign recently aired on HBO.

He then launched into his “big idea” for the crowd. “What if we said that we really wanted to ensure every immigrant who has come to this country of immigrants and asylum seekers and refugees was truly treated with the dignity and respect that they deserved and we did not try to mirror Republicans by saying ‘but first we’re gonna get tough on them, break up those families, deport them, internal enforcement, walls, none of that stuff.”

“What if we said…” O’Rourke said before breaking into speaking Spanish. He continued in english hitting against detention centers, deportations, and proclaimed “dreamers” to be as “American as anyone else in this theater here tonight” while saying those individuals brought illegally to the U.S. as children “live in fear of deportation to a country that they do not know.” He proposed making them citizens.

O’Rourke continued slamming President Donald Trump, calling his policies “bullshit” as he claimed the president imposed a “Muslim travel ban.” The executive action President Trump imposed that some deemed a ban on Muslims was not, but rather named countries identified under the administration of President Barack Obama as those President Trump would restrict immigration from temporarily for national security purposes.

He further proposed that the federal government cancel any citizenship application fees for green card holders with permanent residency to become citizens and mail them full filled out citizenship forms. O’Rourke then spoke of “11 million” illegal aliens in the U.S.

This
policy offlooding the market with cheap, foreign, white-collar graduates and blue-collar labor also shifts enormous wealth from young employees towards older investors, even as it also widens wealth gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, and hurts children’s schools
and college educations. It also pushes Americans away from high-tech careers and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans, including many who are now struggling with fentanyl addictions. The labor policy also moves
business investment and wealth from the heartland to the coastal
cities, explodes rents and housing
costs, shrivels real estate values in the Midwest, and rewards investors for
creating low-tech, labor-intensive workplaces.

Beto
O’Rourke’s Plan Opens Borders for Migrants and Job Seekers

Beto O’Rourke’s immigration plan, which the presidential hopeful
released Wednesday, would open the nation’s borders to apparently unlimited
waves of unskilled needy migrants and would open the nation’s workplaces to
cheap workers when companies fear Americans’ wages might rise.

O’Rourke’s plan downplays
the interests of American wage-earners and parents as it promises to aid
migrants and investors by “reunit[ing migrant] families … and ensur[ing] they
have a chance to contribute more to our economy and our communities — and
pursue the American Dream.”

The
plan would spur migration by giving taxpayer-funded lawyers to migrants who
request asylum, by granting asylum to migrants who say they have suffered from
spousal abuse or fear of criminal gangs, and by creating a fast-track process
for migrants to get through the border and into U.S. jobs.

His
plan would revive the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) job
program and amnesty for younger illegals, would establish catch-and-release as
a national policy, would stop construction of a border wall, and would launch an
amnesty for the population of 11 million illegals.

The
plan does not mention safeguards to prevent tens or hundreds of millions of
ambitious migrants from using his pro-migration policy to walk into the United
States.

Instead,
it suggests that the U.S spend $5 billion in Central America to persuade
Central Americans from traveling northwards into the U.S. labor market.

O’Rourke
would prioritize family chain migration over the ability of would-be skilled
migrants to raise productivity and wealth for all Americans.

The
Texas Democrat’s plan would also create a new inflow of legal immigrants by
allowing “communities” to import their own populations of foreign migrants. The
plan does not mention safeguards to prevent migrant communities from importing
their own servants, service workers, and teachers, even when Americans want the
jobs. The plan:

Establishes
a new, first-of-its-kind community-based visa category. Beto’s proposal will
create a brand new category whereby communities and congregations can welcome refugees
through community sponsorship of visas. This program will supplement the U.S.
Refugee Admissions Program, which will be rebuilt and restored to align with
America’s tradition of welcoming vulnerable refugees from around the world.

O’Rourke’s
plan argues that immigrants grow the economy — but it does not include any
evidence that migration or his plan would help grow Americans’ wages and
salaries or help Americans buy homes to raise their own families. It says:

This
[plan] is not just right but also essential to our shared prosperity.
Immigrants from every corner of the world — those who came here on
student visas and those seeking refuge from persecution — have been a key
driver of our economic growth.

The
plan does not use the words “wages” or “salaries,” but it offers business the
right to import more temporary workers for blue-collar jobs. The plan would
“ensure that industries that depend on immigrant labor have access to a program
that allows workers to legally come here and legally return to their home
country with appropriate labor and mobility protections.”

The
plan would also allow companies and universities to import more college-trained
foreign workers for jobs sought by U.S. graduates. The plan says O’Rourke
would:

Promote
STEM education by granting foreign-born students more flexibility to stay in
the U.S. and gain employment after graduating; and Allow foreign-born
entrepreneurs and U.S. patent holders the chance to stay in the United States
to grow their business, create jobs and raise families that will go on to
enrich our country.

Over
the last 20 years, U.S. immigration laws have allowed companies to bring in
many H-1B contract workers and also to provide green cards to favored workers.
That policy has flooded the white-collar labor market with foreign workers, so
slowing the growth of salaries for American graduates.

O’Rourke’s
Twitter account touted support from Todd Schulte, a D.C.-based advocate who
runs a pro-migration group founded by West Coast investors. Schulte is trying
to preserve and expand the various white-collar and blue-collar visa programs which
provide cheap labor to the investors, who include Mark Zuckerberg, whose
Facebook company already uses many H-1B workers in place of American graduates.

We just announced a plan that would
implement the most sweeping rewrite of U.S. immigration law in a generation and
overcome years of inaction to finally advance a new vision of immigration that
fully reflects our country’s values.

This
claim of “our country’s values” echoes the “Nation of Immigrants” claims from
1965, which Democrats have almost uniformly adopted in the last few years.

O’Rourke’s
plan also echoes the progressive claim that racism is the root cause of the
United State’s economic and racial disparities and is the primary motivator in
the nation’s immigration policies. This moral fervor began around 2012 and
is dubbed “The
Great Awokening.” Politically, the claim allows wealthy progressives and
post-graduate professionals to elevate their perceived social status by
smearing many Americans as deplorable racists.

In
contrast, President Donald Trump’s “Hire American” policy has raised wages for
blue-collar and white-collar Americans and has also helped deliver jobs, wages,
and self-sufficiency to many Americans who were sidelined by disability, the
2008 recession, drugs, criminal record, or lack of investment in their heartland
states.

Immigration Numbers

Each
year, roughly four million young Americans join the workforce after
graduating from high school or university.

But
the federal government then imports about 1.1 million legal immigrants and
refreshes a resident population of roughly 1.5 million white-collar visa
workers — including roughly one million H-1B workers — and approximately
500,000 blue-collar visa workers.

The
government also prints out more than one million work permits for foreigners,
tolerates about eight million illegal workers, and does not punish companies
for employing the hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants who sneak across
the border or overstay their legal visas each year.

This
policy of inflating the labor supply boosts economic
growth for investors because
it ensures that employers do not have to compete for American workers by
offering higher wages and better working conditions.

This
policy of flooding the
market with cheap, foreign, white-collar graduates and
blue-collar labor also
shifts enormous wealth from young employees
towards older investors, even as it also widens wealth
gaps, reduces high-tech
investment, increases state
and local tax burdens, and hurts children’s schools and college educations.
It also pushes Americans
away from high-tech careers and sidelines millions of marginalized Americans,
including many who are now struggling with
fentanyl addictions. The labor policy also moves business investment and
wealth from the heartland to the coastal
cities, explodes rents
and housing
costs, shrivels real
estate values in the Midwest, and rewards investors for creating
low-tech, labor-intensive workplaces.

Nolte: 7 Reasons Beto O’Rourke’s Presidential Campaign Imploded

Fake Hispanic
Beto O’Rourke’s presidential campaign is looking doornail dead … and let’s be
honest: it never really took off. But after peaking nationally with 9.5 percent
support in the Real Clear Politics poll of polls, he has now collapsed to just
3.2 percent support. And along the way, he dropped from third place (behind
275-year-old Bernie and 189-year-old Biden) to sixth.

It wasn’t
supposed to be like this.

If you
recall, Paddy O’Rourke was once America’s wunderkind, the next John or Bobby,
the phenom who could turn Texas blue, Mr. Charisma, the White Obama, the guy
whose youth, energy, charm, and wokeness would make him The Great Trump Slayer
who ushered in the next Progressive Era!

So what
happened?

How did the
Shamrock King get his Lucky Charms stolen?

Ted Cruz Is No Longer the Villain

Beto is a
totally fabricated media sensation, and the reason the media fabricated that
sensation was in the hopes of defeating Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a Republican the
media hate with enough fury to turn Beto the Dweeb into Beto the
KoolKidFutureOfAmerica.

And to Beto
and the media’s credit, they nearly defeated Cruz. That election was
a lot closer than it should have been.

But without
Cruz as your villain, without Cruz as the standard upon which your cool factor
is measured, the leprechaun stands alone, and when the leprechaun stands alone,
he’s just a dweeby little leprechaun.

Without Cruz,
the media lost interest in protecting and shaping Beto into
something’s he’s not, and without the full force of the media pouring all of
their propaganda powers into one man to make him Bobby Kennedy, all that’s left
is Beto, and Beto is not all that impressive on his own.

I am running to serve you as the next president. The
challenges we face are the greatest in living memory. No one person can meet
them on their own. Only this country can do that, and only if we build a
movement that includes all of us. Say you're in: http://BetoORourke.com

Beto married an
heiress like John F’n Kerry; he drives like Ted Kennedy (including his attempt
to drunkenly flee the scene); he is as miserly as Joe Biden in his
charitable giving; like Obama, he has no real experience but has a very high
opinion of himself; and he is an Irishman
posing as a Hispanic in the same way Elizabeth Warren posed as an American
Indian.

On top of
that, he was a hacker who stole other
people’s credit card numbers.

This is one
flawed leprechaun.

Straight.
White. Male.

When you are
running to be nominated for president by a political party obsessed with
identity politics (because they have no ideas), being a straight, white guy is
a major deficit — especially when you are up against two other straight, white
males (Biden and Bernie) who already enjoy a sizable following.

On the
identity politics front, the only thing Beto has going for him is that he’s a
beta male, not at all masculine, but betas don’t win presidential elections.

If Beto the
beta were smart, he would reboot his candidacy for a third time by announcing
he is transitioning into a woman. This would not only shake up his campaign; we
would all believe him.

The key to
defeating someone is to define them before they can define you. Trump’s genius
is his ability to do this with a nickname that sticks … and has the additional
benefit of getting under that person’s skin because it’s true.

Trump never
bothered to hit O’Rourke with a nickname, but once he ridiculed Beto’s flailing
arm movements, everyone knew it was over.

“I think he’s
got a lot of hand movement,” Trump said. “I’ve never seen so much
hand movement. I said, ‘Is he crazy or is that just how he acts?’ I’ve never
seen so much hand movement. I watched him a little while this morning. … I’ve
actually never seen anything quite like it. Study it. I’m sure you’ll agree. ”

You cannot
win a presidential election if you are this easy to ridicule, and Beto is
absurdly easy to mock.

Beto the Gaffe Machine

Farmers
need to give up their fair share of crops to
fight global warming.

Other than
trying to appease the extreme left, I have no idea what Beto stands for, where
he wants to take the country. All he does is run around, stand on the places
where people eat their food, flail like a maniac, and spew platitudes…

He’s not a
presidential candidate as much as he’s a middle-aged child out on a journey to
explore himself.

Beto’s not a
leader; he’s a wanderer.

—

Without it
being Beto vs. Cruz or Beto vs. a Republican, the media are no longer
interested in protecting him from his spazzy self, and without those billions
and billions of dollars in corporate propaganda turning him into something he’s
not, Beto’s just a weird little entitled white guy leprechaun who married money
and still doesn’t give to charity.

Nolte:
Beto O’Rourke Says His Campaign Sacrifices Make Up for Miserly Charitable
Donations

Fake Hispanic Beto O’Rourke was confronted at a town hall about his
miserly campaign donations and responded in such a narcissistic fashion, I
suffered a Barry Obama flashback.

According to
his tax returns, since 2008, the Irishman O’Rourke has donated less than one
percent of his considerable income to charity.

In 2017, he
earned a healthy $366,455, but his reported charitable donations totaled just
$1,166. In other words, he donated less than one-third of one-percent to
charity.

Over the last
ten years, the Irishman O’Rourke reported an average annual income of $340,613
but “donated an average of just $2,430 to charity per year during that time, or
0.7 percent,” reports The Washington Free Beacon.

That gross
dollar donation of $2,430 is also less than half of what the average American
who makes considerably less than the Irishman donates to charity. The IRS
reports that those in the $200,00 to $250,000 tax bracket donate an average of
$5,472 annually.

“The most
egregious disparity between reported income and charitable giving occurred in
2015, when O’Rourke earned $377,151 but donated just $867 to charity—just 0.2
percent of his total income,” the Free Beacon reports. “His most generous
year—and the only time he came close to the national average of between two and
five percent of total income—was 2013, when he reported charitable donations of
$12,900 (4.3 percent) after earning $301,092.”

There are
also no reports anywhere of the Irishman O’Rourke donating any of his wealth to
the U.S. Treasury — in other words, living the change he wants for the rest of
us through tax increases.

In other
words, the Irishman O’Rourke is not donating much money to private charity and
not donating to the “common good” by way of the U.S. Treasury. But as a means
to save as much as he can on taxes, he is itemizing those meager donations.

What’s more,
the Irishman O’Rourke’s wife is an heiress whose father is worth hundreds of millions of
dollars. So it’s not like they are pinching pennies over there.

Anyway, in
another example of the American people doing the job the media won’t, the
Irishman O’Rourke was confronted with the news about his miserly charitable
giving at a town hall event in Virginia on Tuesday, and he responded by
lecturing the audience about how the sacrifices he’s making on the campaign
trail, the personal sacrifice he’s making in his quest for the presidency,
should be good enough.

The
questioner, a student at the University of Virginia, asked why her sister, a
woman just one year out of college and who makes a lot less money than the
Irishman O’Rourke, donated more to charity than he did.

I’ve served
in public office since 2005. I do my best to contribute to the success of my
community, of my state, and now, of my country. There are ways that I do this
that are measurable and there are ways that I do this that are immeasurable.
There are charities that we donate to that we’ve recorded and itemized, others
that we have donated to that we have not.

But I’m doing
everything that I can right now, spending this time with you — not with our
kiddos, not back home in El Paso — because I want to sacrifice everything to make
sure that we meet this moment of truth with everything that we’ve got.

Don’t you
see, America, the Fake Hispanic’s charitable gift to America is Beto: he is his selfless
gift to America; his very presence is a magnanimous act of charitable giving.

So far, at
least where it counts — in the polling — the Irishman O’Rourke’s presidential
campaign has failed to live up to the national media hype.

The shallow
media love the guy, the even shallower celebrity culture loves the guy, donors
love the guy, but this Hot New Thing remains mired in single digits, way behind two ancient
white guys — former Vice President Joe Biden and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders
(I-VT). In fact, in the most recent national poll, he fell behind Pete
Buttigieg to fourth place.

The media
might find Beto all kinds of adorbs, but he’s also kind of a weirdo and
obviously not catching on despite the worshipful coverage.

This terrible
answer regarding his miserly charitable giving is not in and of itself
disqualifying, but the incompetence of the answer, the unpreparedness, will
worry those looking for someone tough and prepared enough to take on President
Trump.

We can now
add a fourth item to Jim Treacher’s list of what we already knew about Beto:

Beto: 'If Immigration Is a
Problem, It's the Best Possible Problem for This Country to Have'

Beto O'Rourke speaks to thousands
of people gathered to protest a U.S./Mexico border wall being pushed by
President Donald Trump February 11, 2019 in El Paso, Texas.(Photo by Christ
Chavez/Getty Images)

"And all of us, wherever you
live, can acknowledge that if immigration is a problem, it's the best possible
problem for this country to have. And we should ensure that there are lawful
paths to work, to be with family and to flee persecution," O'Rourke, from
the border city of El Paso, said in his video announcement.

With continuous and energetic
hand-gesturing, and his wife Amy looking on, O'Rourke echoed the "Yes we
can" campaigns of Barack Obama:

"This is a defining moment
of truth for this country and for every single one of us. The challenges that
we face right now, the interconnected crises in our economy, our democracy and
our climate have never been greater, and they will either consume us or they
will afford us the greatest opportunity to unleash the genius of the United
States of America.

"In other words, this moment
of peril produces perhaps the greatest moment of promise for this country and
for everyone inside of it."

And here starts the "we
can" theme:

We can begin by fixing our
democracy and ensuring that our government works for everyone and not just
corporations.

We can invest in the dignity of
those who work and those who seek to work.

We can ensure that every single
American can see a doctor and be well enough to live to their full potential.

And all of us, wherever you live,
can acknowledge that if immigration is a problem, it's the best possible
problem for this country to have. And we should ensure that there are lawful
paths to work, to be with family and to flee persecution.

We can listen to and lift up
rural America.

We can work on real justice
reform and confront the hard truths of slavery and segregation and suppression
in these United States of America.

We can reassert our global
leadership and end these decades-long wars, and be there for every woman and
man who has served in them.

And perhaps most importantly of all, because our very existence
depends on it, we can unleash the ingenuity and creativity of millions of
Americans who want to be ensure that we squarely confront the challenge of
climate change before it's too late.

He promised to run a
"positive" campaign that seeks to unite a divided country.

The video announcement came out
just before the morning cable shows began at 6 a.m.; and it coincides with a
gushing profile in Vanity Fair, complete with photographs by celebrity
photographer Annie Liebovitz.

O'Rourke, a former U.S.
congressman, lost his 2018 campaign for the U.S. Senate to incumbent Republican
Ted Cruz.

SERVING THE
BILLIONAIRE CLASS

“Restructuring El
Paso: O’Rourke supported a plan in
2006 to redevelop downtown El Paso by taking down tenements and gentrifying the
area. His father, billionaire William Sanders, was involved in the project. The
plan angered barrio residents and small business owners, who feared they would
lose their homes through the eminent domain process.”

Background: O’Rourke earned a B.A. in English
from Columbia University in New York. While studying, he worked as an intern on Capitol Hill
for the office of former Rep. Ron Coleman (D-TX). After working a few jobs, as an internet
service provider and at a publishing company, he returned to El Paso where he
was born. There he sat on the city council from 2005 to 2011. He served as a
member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019. O’Rourke ran an
unsuccessful campaign against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in 2018, despite running the
most expensive Senate
campaign in U.S. history.

The
Issues:

Healthcare: O’Rourke
considers healthcare, “a basic
human right, not a privilege,” and opposed the idea
of repealing Obamacare. He supported expanding Medicaid coverage
to prevent childbirth-related deaths, as well as covering, “vulnerable
children, the disabled, and the elderly.” He wanted politicians to focus
on, “achieving universal healthcare coverage- whether it be through a
single payer system, a dual system, or otherwise - so that we can ensure
everyone is able to see a provider when it will do the most good and will
deliver healthcare in the most affordable, effective way possible.”

Immigration: "Absolutely,
I'd take the wall down," O’Rourke told MSNBC's
Chris Hayes in February. The former representative supported the DREAM Act
and “modernizing” the visa system to allow U.S. businesses to seek employees
for jobs, “that American workers can’t fill.”

Environment: O’Rourke
said in 2012 that he would work with members of the House to come up with
plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a level that can be absorbed
by the ecosystem. “I believe that in tackling climate change and the
greatest environmental threat we have ever faced,” he said.
“We need to take unprecedented action in building a foundation for a clean
energy economy. Harmful emissions that contribute to climate change also
pollute our air and water. Climate change threatens our food supply, our
security and the complex ecosystem that sustains humanity.” O’Rourke is
also a supporter of
the Green New Deal, calling it the best proposal he's seen to combat
climate change.

Economy: O’Rourke supported federal
stimulus spending. He co-sponsored the Minimum Wage Fairness Act,
which requires a $10.10
per hour federal minimum wage by 2016. The former congressman said he
wanted, “policies that encourage companies to focus on returning
investments back to their consumer, their employees, and to the
community.”

Criminal Justice: On Monday, O’Rourke told
supporters that he will push for completely legalized marijuana across the
nation and call for expunging records of people imprisoned for possession.
“Giving low-level offenders a second chance no matter the color of their
skin or the economic status they hold can create opportunity for all of
us,” he wrote in an email to supporters. O’Rourke also called for
non-violent offenders to receive alternative
sentences to prison and to get access to rehabilitation programs.

Gun Control: O’Rourke
advocated for universal background checks to regulateonline and
gun-show sales. He also wants to ban the sale of, “weapons of war and
high-capacity magazines.”

Abortion: O’Rourke
is pro-abortion. He
co-sponsored the Women’s Health Protection Act in 2013 as well as bills
S.217 and H.R.448 in 2015, which prohibit the passage of certain abortion
restrictions. He said that he want to ensure, “that a
woman’s right to choose is not compromised by limited access to safe and
legal abortion services or family planning help.”

Weaknesses/Controversies:

Restructuring El Paso: O’Rourke supported a plan in
2006 to redevelop downtown El Paso by taking down tenements and
gentrifying the area. His father, billionaire William Sanders, was
involved in the project. The plan angered barrio residents and small
business owners, who feared they would lose their homes through the
eminent domain process.

Denies Fleeing the Scene: In
his 2018 debate with Sen.Cruz, Beto claimed that he didn't attempt to flee
the scene of a crime back in August 1998. Beto was arrested on
DWI charges east of the New Mexico border. The Anthony Police Department
confirmed the authenticity of a 12-page police report attached to a Houston Chronicle article,
which states that an, "unidentified motorist ‘then turned on his
overhead lights to warn oncoming traffic and to try to get the defendant
(O’Rourke) to stop.'"

Only Passed One Bill in
Congress: During his time as a House
representative, O’Rourke helped pass only one bill.
In 2016, H.R.5873 went into law, which designated, "the Federal
building and United States courthouse located at 511 East San Antonio
Avenue in El Paso, Texas, as the 'R.E. Thomason Federal Building and
United States Courthouse.'"

Flip/Flop on Cop Support: Civil
rights groups were angered by O’Rourke’s votefor the Thin
Blue Line Act in 2017, which, “calls for death penalty to anyone who kills
or attempts killing ‘a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other
first responder.’” O’Rourke also called modern
law enforcement, "The new Jim Crow," and last year expressed his
admiration for the NFL players who took a knee in retaliation to acts of
police brutality against black people.

Demeaning Comments About Women: O’Rourke
wrote a review of the Broadway musical "The Will Rogers Follies"
while studying at Columbia University. In it, he criticized the,
"perma-smile actresses whose only qualifications seem to be their
phenomenally large breasts and tight buttocks." O’Rourke apologized
for his article, saying that he had, “no excuse for making disrespectful
and demeaning comments about women."

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) isn’t yet a candidate for the Democrat
presidential election, but he is already making clear his stance on immigration
— open borders and amnesty for all of the people in the country illegally.

Media
outlets, including the Houston
Chronicle, are reporting O’Rourke has released a “10-point plan.”

After
three terms in Congress and an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate, El Paso
Democrat Beto O’Rourke has made clear his view that immigrants should be
welcomed as “human beings” and that “walls end lives.”

Now,
signaling that he may soon announce a 2020 White House run, O’Rourke is putting
a finer point on his immigration agenda, releasing a 10-point plan that calls
for citizenship for both “Dreamers” and their parents, as well as for “millions
more” who now live in the U.S. illegally.

And
not only is O’Rourke against building more walls along the U.S. border with
Mexico but he has expressed support for tearing down existing barriers that
divide El Paso from Mexico.

“Yes,
absolutely. I’d take the wall down,” O’Rourke said in an MSNBC interview.

One
politico scientist with the University of Houston quoted in the Chronicle report said this
position puts O’Rourke on the left side of the ever-growing Democrat
presidential field.

“That
is fairly to the left of where most of the people in the Democratic field are,”
Brandon Rottinghaus said.

The Chronicle noted that tearing
down walls was not on the immigration policy list, “an omission that is likely
to raise new questions about his border policy positions.”

One
strange point in O’Rourke’s immigration plan is the argument that a wall would
make it harder for people here illegally to return home.

“Here’s
why,” O’Rourke wrote, “as we made it harder for people to cross into the United
States, we made it less likely that once here they would attempt to go back to
their home country. Fearing an increasingly militarized border, circular
patterns of migration became linear.”

His
amnesty proposal is sweeping and includes all of the Dreamers, their parents —
whom he calls “the original Dreamers” — and would bring “millions more out of
the shadows and on a path to citizenship by ensuring that they register with
the government to gain status to legally work, pay taxes and contribute even
more to our country’s success.”

Republicans
may be cheering O’Rourke’s radical stance on immigration.

“He
is now showing, even more, how out of touch he is and how little he cares for
American citizens and those who have followed the law to seek to become
citizens,” Texas Republican Party Chairman James Dickey said. “Creating a whole
new class of citizens whose status is a direct reward for breaking the law is
just his latest dangerous extremist position.”

“O’Rourke’s
new policy paper does not call for abolishing ICE, but it does call for, an
‘end to the global war on drugs’ which he says has accelerated the erosion of
civil society in Latin America and helped produce the resulting flow of
immigrants and refugees,” the Chronicle reported.

During
his unsuccessful race to replace Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), O’Rourke’s Senate
campaign website
spelled out some of his immigration priorities:

•
End the militarization of our immigration enforcement system and close private
immigration prisons and detention centers that profit from locking up families.

•
Pass the DREAM Act and ensure that undocumented immigrants who were brought
here as children, known as ‘Dreamers’, find a permanent home and citizenship in
the U.S.

•
Ensure that those who come to our borders seeking refuge from violence and
persecution are given a fair opportunity to present their claims and guaranteed
due process under our laws.

•
Improve the immigration system to encourage and facilitate family
reunification, education, and the investment of talent in our country.

•
Modernize the visa system to allow U.S. employers to find workers for jobs that
American workers can’t fill.

•
Reform our immigration laws to legalize the status of millions of immigrants
already in our country and ensure a fair path to citizenship for those inspired
by the opportunity and ideals that we present to the rest of the world.

O’Rourke
recently met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) about a different
kind of campaign in which he would toss his hat in the ring to unseat Sen. John
Cornyn (R-TX).

Nothing
in O’Rourke’s plan that was reported in the media addressed curtailing drug and
human trafficking at the border.

What's Beto's Problem with
the Constitution?

When "Beto"
O'Rourke recently questioned
whether the basic principles of the Constitution still apply in today's
world, what exactly did he mean? Which principles would he reject, and
what new principles would he substitute for our governance?

At a time when our
Constitution is increasingly attacked as unfair, immoral andobsolete, or
simply irrelevant,
the pronouncements of political figures such as O'Rourke
matter. O'Rourke is a rising star of the left and a presumed 2020 presidential
candidate who, as it happens, comes from Texas, a state with a large number
of electoral votes.

To get an idea of O'Rourke's
principles, we might look to his recent failed Senate run. His campaign platform lists 17
major issue categories. Within O'Rourke's 17 categories are over 75
specific initiatives.

As might be expected, a
review of his platform's top initiatives reveals a strong alignment with the
progressive left on nearly every point: health care a "basic human
right," ensuring "guaranteed due process" as well as citizenship
for illegal immigrants, correcting "bias" in the criminal justice
system, increasing public funding for "underserved communities,"
"protecting" teachers' pensions, and much more.

Within this potpourri of
regulation, handouts, and carveouts, we can discern a common thread: a
larger role for government -- specifically the federal government -- tacitly
justified by a deluge of empathy.

O'Rourke's platform aligns neatly with Franklin D. Roosevelt's
"second bill of rights"
of the 1940s, which viewed the Constitution as inadequate and proposed a vast
expansion of federal power and reach as a correction. In more recent
times, FDR's view was embraced by Barack Obama, who described the Constitution dismissively
as a "charter of negative liberties." O'Rourke is only the
latest in a long line of progressives who plainlyhave trouble with
the Constitution.

Yet if O'Rourke's platform
contains any actual new "principles of governance" that are somehow
superior to the Constitution's and presumably should supersede them, they are
obscured by the gratuitous empathy that motivates his initiatives.
O'Rourke simply identifies numerous "victims" and makes himself their
gallant champion.

In the realm of civics, it
is vital to be skeptical of empathy. Viewed cynically, empathy is
politically useful inasmuch as it makes it easy to seduce the persuadable to
your side, and it opens the door wide to politically useful virtue-signaling.

But viewed realistically,
empathy in civic discourse is insidious and corrosive. It is wholly incompatible with
rational judgment and sober decision-making -- hallmarks of good
governance. Instead, empathy empowers a few individuals to hijack civic
priorities, irrespective of facts and in circumvention of just process.
Empathy demands compassionate action regardless of any obstacles -- never mind
that resources are always and everywhere limited. Empathy privileges
certain preferred choices over others, without regard to their relative
worthiness -- necessarily trampling the legitimate rights of the truly
worthy. Empathy silences opposing points of view, as its claim to the
moral high ground makes it virtually immune to criticism.

Does O'Rourke actually
understand the real principles at the foundation of the Constitution?
Does he appreciate their wisdom and importance?

The Founders were learned
men, keen students of human history and human nature, who had endured tyranny
firsthand. They understood human weakness and fallibility. They
observed the corrupting influence of power on leadership. They
appreciated the essential limits and inadequacies of every sort of governance
and authority. They respected that individuals, men and women -- and only
they -- are the proper guardians of their destiny.

These are durable,
unchanging, inherent principles of humankind, and the Constitution embodies
this found wisdom. In devising a new form of government, the Founders
incorporated these understandings through a variety of structural limitations,
controls and "checks and balances" upon government, and upon those
who hold office. The Bill of Rights further embodies key concepts of
liberty, most importantly the principle of inalienable rights, that
additionally restrict the powers of the federal government. This formula
of restrained government as an enabler of unprecedented social and economic
freedom, combined with individual enterprise, produced the wealthiest and most
beneficent nation on Earth, and we are its fortunate inheritors.

Beto O'Rourke is simply
wrong to declare these principles obsolete. Human nature has not
changed. The passage of "230-plus years" since the
Constitution's adoption makes no difference whatsoever.

Is O'Rourke merely ignorant
of this basic truth? O'Rourke calls for a "discussion" on these
principles, but it is hard to see this as anything other than their implicit
rejection. More likely, holding his own views as incontrovertible,
O'Rourke arrogantly seeks to control the affairs of American citizens and will
use the power of government to achieve his ends. For such purposes the
Constitution is decidedly an obstacle and not an enabler.

But who is Beto, or any of
his philosophical predecessors and cohorts, to make intimate decisions and
judgments for others' lives, families and destinies? Election to office
is not such a license, as the Founders understood. It takes stupendous
hubris, conceit, and a wholly unjustified sense of personal righteousness, to
usurp this privilege.

Only a sound and respected
republican Constitution will prevent people like O'Rourke from putting the
government in charge of literally everything.

On
Friday January 25, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that 95,000 individuals registered to vote in the Lone Star
State have been identified as "Non-US Citizens," meaning they are
illegally registered to vote. Further evidence brought forth by Texas Secretary of State
David Whitely confirms that 58,000 of
these individuals have broken the law and voted in "one or more"
recent elections.

“Every
single instance of illegal voting threatens democracy in our state and deprives
individual Texans of their voice," AG Paxton said in a statement. "My
Election Fraud Unit stands ready to investigate and prosecute crimes against
the democratic process when needed."

VOTER FRAUD ALERT: The @TXsecofstate discovered approx 95,000 individuals identified by DPS as non-U.S.
citizens have a matching voter registration record in TX, approx 58,000 of whom
have voted in TX elections. Any illegal vote deprives Americans of their voice.

According
to a press release issued by the Attorney General's office, while non-US
citizens are legally allowed to obtain driver's licenses and other forms of ID,
"only citizens are eligible to vote." Furthermore, the Sec. of
State's office notes that "Voting in an election in which the person knows
he or she is not eligible to vote is a second-degree felony in the State of Texas. "

Sec.
of State Whitely discovered a "total of approximately 95,000
individuals" illegally registered to vote after a year-long evaluation of
Texas county voting registrars. Today, his office announced that 58,000 of
these individuals actually voted in one or more election.

"Integrity
and efficiency of elections in Texas require accuracy of our state's voter
rolls, and my office is committed to using all available tools under the law to
maintain an accurate list of registered voters. Our agency has provided
extensive training opportunities to county voter registrars so that they can
properly perform list maintenance activities in accordance with federal and
state law, which affords every registered voter the chance to submit proof of
eligibility," Sec. of State Whitely told the media.

The
report notes that Sec. of State Whitely "immediately provided the data in
its possession to the Texas Attorney General's office, as the Secretary of
State has no statutory enforcement authority to investigate or prosecute
alleged illegal activity in connection with an election."

"Nothing
is more vital to preserving our Constitution than the integrity of our voting
process, and my office will do everything within its abilities to solidify
trust in every election in the state of Texas. I applaud Secretary of State
Whitley for his proactive work in safeguarding our elections," AG Paxton
added.

Top 5 Voter Fraud Cases Along Texas Border in 2018… which are the only counties that voted for
La Raza Beto!

In January, authorities arrested Ernestina Barron, 50, a Rio
Grande City school district employee, on three counts of election fraud
and three counts of a fraudulent application for a mail-in ballot for filling
out applications illegally for other voters in an earlier election. Days later,
officials charged Erika Lozano-Pelayo, 37, after
she purportedly submitted an absentee ballot for a voter who died but remained
on the voter registration rolls. A third woman, Belinda Garcia, 45, surrendered to the Starr County
Special Crimes Unit on a charge of fraudulently applying for a mail-in ballot.
She reportedly said the voter was disabled but this was not true.

2. 14 Hidalgo County residents
charged in voter fraud scheme.

A total of 14 residents were
arrested for their purported roles in a voter scheme that recruited people to
falsely claim residential addresses so they could vote in specific races and manipulate
the results of a 2017 Edinburg city election. Investigators with the Hidalgo
County DA’s office, the Texas Rangers, and Office of Texas Attorney General Ken
Paxton initially arrested four of the suspects in May
2018, all of whom illegally voted in that 2017 election. One was a convicted
human smuggler serving probation who voted illegally. Two claimed to live in
the city’s limits, but, in fact, resided elsewhere. Another suspect was only
charged with making a false statement on a voter registration form. In June,
county officials charged a fifth person with two counts of illegal voting.
Then, in November, nine more were arrested. The investigation continues and
more arrests may come in 2019.

In June, a Hidalgo County grand
jury indicted Marcela Guttierrez, a non-U.S.
citizen on an illegal voting charge for misleading a voter to believe she was
demonstrating how to use a voting machine when, actually, Guttierez voted for a
slate of candidates she was paid to support in a June 2016 Hidalgo city runoff
election. Two of her fellow campaign workers, Sylvia Arojano and Sara Ornelas,
also were charged with seven counts of unlawfully assisting voters. Reportedly,
Arojano is married to a school board member for the Hidalgo County school
district.

4. Poll watcher accuses Hidalgo
city official of unlawfully assisting a voter in the 2018 midterm.

In December, the Texas Secretary of
State escalated a voter fraud complaint
to Paxton’s office. A poll watcher accused Hidalgo City Councilman Rodolfo
“Rudy” Franz of unlawfully assisting a voter during the 2018 midterm election’s
early voting period. The complaint alleged that Franz suggested and instructed
the voter on who to vote for on their ballot even though Franz was asked
multiple times by election workers to stop.

5. Texas Democratic Party
accused of encouraging noncitizens to vote in 2018 November midterm in Rio
Grande Valley.

An October complaint accused the Texas Democratic Party of
mailing “altered” voter registration applications to noncitizens in the Rio
Grande Valley. The mailers allegedly had the U.S. citizenship box pre-checked,
creating false claims to voter eligibility. The document urged recipients to
vote in the November midterm election. The box asking if a voter will be 18
years of age on or before election day also was pre-filled. The Public Interest
Legal Foundation, an election integrity law firm, alerted Starr and Hidalgo
county district attorneys, Paxton, Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos, and
the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) about the complaint. Subsequently,
Pablos referred the complaint to Paxton’s
office for further investigation.

Texas AG to prosecute three
indicted on nine counts of voter fraud in Nueces County 2016 Democratic primary
runoff.

Paxton announced his office would
prosecute three residents indicted by a grand jury on nine counts of voter
fraud stemming back to a May 2016 Nueces County Democratic primary runoff
election. County Clerk Kara Sands presented data to a local
commissioners court in January that unmasked the alleged voter fraud.

Salvadoran illegal immigrant
living in East Texas since the 1980s was indicted on voter fraud and
immigration violations charges.

In June, Texas prosecutors indicted Salvadoran national Mario
Obdulio Orellana, 57, who lived illegally in the state since the 1980s.
Officials said Orellana purportedly falsified documents to obtain a U.S. birth
certificate, applied for and received a U.S. passport and a Social Security
number. Prosecutors said Orellano claimed to be a U.S. citizen when he
registered to vote and fraudulently cast a ballot in the 2016 presidential
election.

Mexican national faces
deportation after pleading guilty to voter fraud in Texas.

In September, Mexican national Laura
Janeth Garza, 38, pleaded guilty to voter fraud charges
for voting in three election cycles, including 2016. She did so by stealing a
Texan’s identity to obtain a U.S. passport and Social Security number. The
American citizen victim learned about the fraud when she tried to apply for a
passport in her own name and discovered Garza already did so. Garza was
sentenced to 10 years in jail, after which she will be deported.

In October, Paxton’s office indicted four North Texas women
for their alleged roles in a “voter fraud ring” that targeted the elderly in
select northern Fort Worth precincts during the March 2016 Democrat Party
primary election. Subsequently released court documents revealed the ringleader, Leticia
Sanchez, 57, allegedly paid her co-defendants with funds provided by the then
Tarrant County Democratic Party Executive Director, Stuart Clegg. The scheme
reportedly intended to influence the outcome of certain down-ballot races.
Allegedly, they did this by “seeding” or proliferating mail-in ballots through
forged signatures and altering historical applications, then resubmitting them
without the voter’s knowledge.

In Texas, illegal voting is a second
degree felony punishable up to 20 years in $10,000 fine. Making a false
statement on a voter registration application is a Class B misdemeanor.

FORMER MEXICAN
PRESIDENT ENDORSES BETO O’ROURKE

Former Mexican
President Vicente Fox came out in support of Democratic Texas Senate
candidate Beto O’Rourke, in a Thursday evening tweet.

.@BetoORourke, what a candidate you are! You not only understand America, you know about
humanity. This is what the U.S. needs: someone compassionate yet firm. I stand
with you because I believe you’re what America needs. pic.twitter.com/xccqvXFfk9

Fox served as the
Mexican president from 2000 to 2006 and has been an outspoken critic of
President Donald Trump. The former Mexican president’s comments follow
O’Rourke’s appearance at a CNN town hall Thursday evening and a debate with
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

O’Rourke is
current trailing Cruz by several
points in the Senate race.

Fox has often unleashed
profanity laced pronouncements aimed at Trump,
particularly on Trump’s declaration that the U.S. will make Mexico pay for his
proposed wall along the southern border.

“I’m not going to pay
for that fucking wall,” Fox declared in a Fusion TV
interview. In another profane tweet Fox urged Trump to “get his shit together.”

.@realDonaldTrump, you’ve got to get your shit together: migrants are people who have left
everything behind – not by choice, to pursue a better life. You must show
compassion and humanity. your golden head and a #FuckingWall won’t stop these people’s dreams and hopes. https://t.co/JC1NETBKqP

The Public Interest Legal Foundation alerted
district attorneys and the federal Justice Department to the pre-checked
applications, and also included a signed affidavit from a man who said some of
his relatives, who aren't citizens, received the mailing.

"This is how the Texas
Democratic Party is inviting foreign influence in an election in a federal
election cycle," said Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the PILF, a
group that's made its mark policing states' voter registration practices.

The Texas secretary of state's office said
it, too, had gotten complaints both from immigrants [sic] and from relatives of
dead people who said they got mailings asking them to register.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to
investigate.

"If true there will be serious
consequences," he said.

This is an open invitation for voter fraud on a large scale, and
the way the Democrats went about it defies belief:

The applications were pre-addressed to
elections officials, which is likely what left many voters to believe they were
receiving an official communication from the state.

But the return address was from the State
Democratic Executive Committee, and listed an address in Austin that matches
the state Democratic Party's headquarters.

The letter is emblazoned with
"Urgent! Your voter registration deadline is October
9." It continues: "Your voter registration application is
inside. Complete, sign and return it today!"

On the application, boxes affirming the
applicant is both 18 and a U.S. citizen are already checked with an
"X" in the Yes field.

The mailing also urges those who are
unsure if they're registered to "Mail it in."

Dead people were also being asked to vote.

Sam Taylor, spokesman for Texas's
secretary of state, said they heard from people whose relatives were receiving
mail despite having passed away 10 years ago or longer. One woman
said her child, who'd been dead 19 years, got a mailing asking to register.

"It looks like a case of really bad
information they are using to send out these mailers," Mr. Taylor said.

Mr. Taylor is being very charitable. I doubt very much
whether it's "bad information" being used by Democrats.

How many other state Democratic Parties send out similar requests
to non-citizens and haven't been caught? Are we to believe that one
party in one state came up with this idea all on its own? Perhaps,
but not likely.

Many liberals believe that anyone in the United States – citizen
or non-citizen – should be able to vote. If they want to make that
argument and change the law to make it happen, they are more than welcome to
try. Of course, if they run on that issue, they will get slaughtered
at the polls. So instead of going to the American people and working
to change the law, they try an underhanded dirty trick to achieve the same
goal.

Someone should go to jail for this ruse.

Safe Spaces: How Sanctuary
Cities are Giving Cover to Noncitizens on the Voter RollsPublic Interest Legal Foundation, August

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has
released hundreds of migrants in El Paso, Texas over the past few days,
including 186 on Christmas Day.

Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), who lost his Senate bid to incumbent
Republican Ted Cruz, is cited in the story as being instrumental in making sure
ICE informs city officials of impending releases.

“As a result, nonprofits were a bit
more prepared for the large intake,” CBS4 reported.

“They’re coming from immigration
cells, so they’re coming hungry, they’re coming thirsty, most haven’t bathed in
a long time. The situation is really difficult for them,” Dylan Corbett,
executive director of Hope Border Institute, said in the CBS4 story.

The report also includes comments
from “Ingrid,” who is from Honduras and brought her 4-year-old son with her to
the U.S. border.

After decades of inaction by
Congress, the government remains severely constrained in its ability to detain
and promptly remove families with no legal basis to remain in the U.S. To
mitigate the risk of holding family units past the timeframe allotted to the
government, ICE has curtailed reviews of post-release plans from families
apprehended along the southwest border. ICE continues to work with local and
state officials and NGO partners in the area so they are prepared to provide
assistance with transportation or other services.

Although he said both before
and after losing the Senate race in Texas to Ted Cruz that he had no plan
to run for office in 2020, Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke recently
left the door wide open. And
now he has met
with Obama at his home in Washington. In that context, I sent a
list of questions to his press spokeswoman, but never received an answer.

The first question dealt
with whether O'Rourke has any Hispanic heritage, or whether, as he is
in truth, fourth-generation Irish. As a child living in El Paso, O'Rourke was
given the nickname "Beto," which is a common Hispanic moniker for
Roberto, in order to delineate between him and his maternal grandfather, Robert
Williams. When O'Rourke attended Columbia in New York he used "Rob,"
but his father, then El Paso County Judge Pat O'Rourke, suggested that he
once again use "Beto" to increase his chance of winning
political office in the heavily Hispanic city of El Paso, which Robert readily
agreed to do.

He graduated from Columbia
in 1995, and later that month was arrested for burglary at UTEP (the University
of Texas El Paso) along with two others. He has previously explained it as
a prank from his college years. I asked his spokeswoman if it was true he
had already graduated from Columbia and never attended UTEP; what the purpose
of the burglary was; what his relationship with
Jose Prieto, Jr. and Jacob Barowsky whom he was arrested with was, and where
they were located today. I received no response.

Concerning O'Rourke's 1998
DWI, I asked his spokeswoman why he never admitted the incident also
involved a hit and run until the press obtained the arrest reports last August. O'Rourke
now claims it was not a hit and run, but I asked the spokeswoman if the
arresting officer and a witness who reportedly chased him were lying after
O'Rourke, going at an excessive rate of speed, struck a truck on I-10 west of
El Paso and ended up on the other side of the Interstate, and then fled.
Again no response.

O'Rourke also now claims that he recently contacted a passenger who was with
him that night who verified he did not leave the scene, but has
not said who she is. I received no response. I also asked why none of the reports
during O'Rourke's arrest and processing mentioned another passenger, but did
mention another passenger with the witness who pursued and stopped him. Again,
no response. And I asked why O'Rourke told the police he had only two
beers, when his high intoxication level showed he had consumed at least
six.

About his campaign, I asked
why he had claimed that the record of more than 70 million dollars raised had
mostly come from Texas, when in reality less than a third did, while a staggering 75
percent came from ActBlue, the leftist fundraising group. I asked why
O'Rourke promised not to run a negative campaign, but he eventually ran some
highly inflammatory and personal attacks
ads against Ted Cruz.

Concerning President Trump,
on a number of occasions, O'Rourke has said he supports impeachment. I asked if
he still supports impeachment and based on what evidence. I also asked the
spokeswoman whether, if elected, his previous positions would taint any
potential impeachment vote. Current rumors are he might run against Senator
John Cornyn and Trump in 2020, which in Texas would be legal.
Still no response.

I noted that it's a matter
of record that he has heavily used marijuana and alcohol and asked if he still
does. I also noted that O'Rourke profusely sweats even
under perfect conditions, while at the same time others do not, and if he would
be willing to take a complete physical exam. No response.

And now after saying he may
still run for office, as well as meeting personally with Obama, I asked if he
has any intention to be on the national ticket in 2020, but still
got no response.

A few days later, I sent a
follow-up email to the spokeswoman noting I had received no response and
intended to write an article regardless. So I added one more question.
O'Rourke used the f-word live on national television in his
concession speech, and used it as well at several other points in
his campaign. Does O'Rourke think it is appropriate as a leader to behave in
such a fashion? Still no response.

His language, along
with his use of skateboards to enter campaign rallies, shows a basic
immaturity and lack of seriousness to hold high public office. Considering
O'Rourke's misleading claims about his heritage and serious issues concerning
his controversial past, as well as his obvious desire to hold political office,
these kinds of questions would normally be asked of a potential
candidate.

But so far, his supporters
among the mainstream press have failed to do so. And after their recent fawning
coverage and the record millions raised for his campaign, O'Rourke still failed
to win. Time will tell if the public will learn who the real Robert Francis
O'Rourke is.

Beto: 2020 Will Be ‘Mother of All
Tests’ for Democracy

Saying “there’s never been a darker moment” in America in his lifetime,
Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX), a potential 2020 presidential
candidate, said on Friday that President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign
will be the “mother of all tests for this democracy.”

Speaking at a town hall event in El Paso, Texas, O’Rourke
deflected questions about whether he will run for president, saying the 2020
questions were “interesting, speculative” questions that he wanted to “treat
with respect since this is an official town hall that is focused on my
responsibilities to you as a member of Congress.”

He said whoever runs against Trump in 2020 “may very well be
running against somebody who has not the slightest respect for our norms,
traditions, our institutions, civility, dignity, decency in public life.”

“This is the test, this is the mother of all tests for this
democracy–whether we can run a campaign and have candidates at all levels from
school board to the White House,” O’Rourke added before saying that though he
is hopeful that “something good is going to come out of all this at the end of
the day,” there has “never been a darker moment, at least in my lifetime, in
this country.”

He added that “there’s never been a greater, more open question
about rule of law, about whether our democracy can sustain the kind of attacks
on our institutions… on our press, our courts, this cynical display of power of
5,400 troops sent to the border in the lead up to the midterm elections.”

O’Rourke even suggested that the Trump administration could have
planned crowd control exercises in El Paso, Texas, to suppress his voters in
2018.

The failed Senate candidate spoke about the “crowd control
exercises proposed in El Paso by the Border Patrol on election day — in this
city that had the greatest turnout trying to perhaps suppress that turnout.”

“Who knows. You never want to ascribe motive, but it’s hard to
understand why you would pick that day of all days,” he said, adding that he
has lived in the El Paso area for most of his life and did not understand “the
need for doing that.”

O’Rourke blasted Trump for saying “anything you want to from the
highest perch in power” that had been revered for 242 years and said the true
test in 2020 will be whether Democrats can campaign on issues against Trump
instead of going for the most “bast impulses, instincts among us.”

He said the challenge in 2020 will be to not “succumb to the
smallness, pettiness, and divisiveness” that defines so much of the national
conversation under Trump.

Former President
Barack Obama’s administration rewarded an organization with ties to globalist
billionaire George Soros to help Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) avoid
deportation from the United States.

An Immigration
Reform Law Institute (IRLI) investigation reveals that between 2015 and 2016,
the Obama administration rewarded the
Vera Institute of Justice $310 million in contracts to help UACs — young
migrants who came to the U.S.-Mexico border unaccompanied — avoid deportation.

The
IRLI investigation reveals that the Obama administration rewarded the Vera
Justice Institute with millions in American taxpayer-funded contracts to give
“direct legal representation” to UACs in deportation proceedings.

“When
the federal government pays for illegal alien minors to receive direct legal
representation, it does more than flout the law,” IRLI executive director
Dale Wilcox said in a statement.

“These
unauthorized payments have undoubtedly speeded-up UACs’ release from detention
facilities to join their families, relatives, or fellow gang members – or help
them reconnect with and pay ‘pandillas,’ the criminal cartels that make
enormous profits from controlling human trafficking over the southern border,”
Wilcox said. “My guess is that average voters would not be pleased to know that
such vast amounts of their tax dollars are being spent in aid of this giant
criminal enterprise.”

The
Vera Justice Center was previously headed by Christopher Stone, who also served
as the president of Soros’s Open Society Foundation between 2012 and 2017.
Soros’s Open Society Foundation also previously awarded funding
to the Vera Justice Center.

Federal
officials have
said that UACs pouring into the U.S. are
“potential recruits” for violent foreign gangs like MS-13 that have taken
a stronghold in American communities. In 2017 alone, more than 40,000 UACs were
resettled across the U.S. after they arrived in the country unaccompanied.

Another Surge of Illegal Immigrants Along the Southwest Border: Is
this the Obama Administration’s New Normal?

House Committee on the
Judiciary9:00 a.m., Thursday, February
4, 20162141 Rayburn House Office
BuildingWashington, DC 20515

“Obama
would declare himself president for life with Soros really running the show, as
he did for the entire Obama presidency.”

“Hillary was always small potatoes, a placeholder as it were.
Her health was always suspect. And do you think the plotters would have let a
doofus like Tim Kaine take office in the event that Hillary became disabled?”

“Obama has the totalitarian impulse. After all, he went around
saying he didn't have Constitutional authority to legalize the illegals, and
then he tried anyway. The courts stopped him.”

“Obama, of course, covered up his own role, depicting
his presidency as eight years of heroic efforts to repair the damage
caused by the 2008 financial crash. At the end of those eight years,
however, Wall Street and the financial oligarchy were fully recovered, enjoying
record wealth, while working people were poorer than before,
a widening social chasm that made possible the election of the billionaire
con man and Demagogue in November 2016.”

MULTI-CULTURALISM and the creation of a one-party globalist country to
serve the rich in America’s open borders.

“Open border advocates, such as Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg,
claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to
support such an assertion. As the CIS has documented, the vast majority of
illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions
of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs
benefit California’s economy? If illegals were contributing to the economy in
any meaningful way, CA, with its 2.6 million illegals, would be booming.” STEVE

YOU
WONDERED WHY OBAMA-HOLDER WORKED SO HARD TO SABOTAGE AMERICAN VOTING FOR MORE
ILLEGALS???

Those are the subliterate, low-skill, non-English-speaking indigents
whose own societies are unable or unwilling to usefully educate and employ
them. Bring these people here and they not only need a lot of services, they
are putty in the hands of leftist demogogues as Hugo Chavez demonstrated - and
they are very useful as leftist voters who will support the Soros agenda.

The “zero tolerance” program was dismantled by Attorney
General Erc Holder once it had successfully cut the transit of
migrants by roughly 95 percent. Initially, officials made 140,000 arrests per
year in the mid-2000s, but the northward flow dropped so much that officials
only had to make 6,000 arrests in 2013, according to a 2014
letter by two pro-migration Senators, Sen. Jeff Flake and

“The cost of the Dream Act is far bigger than the Democrats or

group, the Migration Policy Institute.”

FIFTEEN
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA “THE RACE”

by
Michelle Malkin

Only in America could critics of a group called "The
Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity
chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have succeeded in
redefining all opposition as "hate."

of all illegal immigrants who have applied under President Obama's new non-deportation
policy for young adults, according to the latest numbers released Friday.

THE CARTELS NOW OPERATE IN MORE THAN 2,500 AMERICAN
CITIES INCLUDING OBAMA’S CHICAGO!

In the July/August version of the Atlantic,
columnist Peter Beinart wrote an article titled, “How the Democrats Lost Their
Way on Immigration.”

“The next Democratic presidential candidate should say again and
again that because Americans are one people, who must abide by one law, his or
her goal is to reduce America’s undocumented population to zero.”

Peter Beinart, a frequent contributor to the New York
Times, New York Review of Books, Haaretz, and
former editor of the New Republic, blames immigration for
deteriorating social conditions for the American working class: The supposed
“costs” of immigration, he says, “strain the very welfare state that liberals
want to expand in order to help those native-born Americans with whom
immigrants compete.”

The myth, which liberals like myself find tempting, is that
only the right has changed. In June 2015, we tell ourselves, Donald Trump rode
down his golden escalator and pretty soon nativism, long a feature of
conservative politics, had engulfed it. But that’s not the full story. If the
right has grown more nationalistic, the left has grown less so. A decade ago,
liberals publicly questioned immigration in ways that would shock many
progressives today.

Listen to the audio version of this article:Download

wreaks havoc economically, socially, and culturally; makes a mockery
of the rule of law; and is disgraceful just on basic fairness
grounds alone.”In 2006, a liberal columnist wrote that
“immigration reduces the wages of domestic workers who compete
with immigrants” and that “the fiscal burden of low-wage immigrants
is also pretty clear.” His conclusion: “We’ll need to reduce the inflow of
low-skill immigrants.” That same year, a Democratic senator wrote, “When I
see Mexican flags waved at pro-immigration demonstrations, I sometimes
feel a flush of patriotic resentment. When I’m forced to use a translator
to communicate with the guy fixing my car, I feel a certain frustration.”
